What is the balanced equation of barium chloride reacting with sodium phosphate to produce barium phosphate and sodium chloride?
Barium has +2 oxidation state and Phosphate has -3 oxidation state whereas
Sodium has +1 oxidation state and Chloride has -1 oxidation state
First, let’s form an equation with what we have
BaCl + Na3PO4 → Ba3PO42 + NaCl (as per their oxidation states)
Now if we observe on the RHS we have 3 Barium so lets put 3 as a coefficient for (BaCl) in the LHS and we have 2 (PO4) on the LHS so let’s put 2 as a coefficient for (Na3PO4)
Barium has +2 oxidation state and Phosphate has -3 oxidation state whereas
Sodium has +1 oxidation state and Chloride has -1 oxidation state

BaCl + Na3PO4 → Ba3PO42 + NaCl (as per their oxidation states)

The balanced chemical equation is as follows :
3(BaCl )+ 2(Na3PO4) → (Ba)3(PO4)2 + 6NaCl

Sodium has +1 oxidation state and Chloride has -1 oxidation state
